broken windows theory


The broken windows theory was first put forth in a 1982 Atlantic article by James Q. Wilson, a political scientist then at Harvard, and George L. Kelling, a criminologist. The theory suggests that a disorderly environment sends a message that no one is in charge, thus increasing fear, weakening community controls, and inviting criminal behavior. It further maintains that stopping minor offenses and restoring greater order can prevent serious crime.

i found the "broken windows theory" while reading the tipping point by malcolm gladwell.

i buy it.

diy: crocheted head bands / earwarmers

i accidently crocheted a beanie way too tight, way too soon. so i ended up with a very small beanie. i split them in half & voila! 2 headband/ear warmers!

i literally found this beautiful gold felt in a "FREE" stuff box outside of a boutique in downtown columbia. i snatched it & started dawdling around with. a nice braid did the trick. the first one i used a single stitch & the 2nd one i used a 3 stitch process. :)
